Diamond has a density of 3.26 g/cm^3. What is the mass of a diamond that has a volume of 0.351 cm^3?

Now, I know that the formula is \[M = D \times V\] where M = Mass, D = Density, and V = Volume. If I substitute the given to the formula it becomes: \[M = 3.26 g/cm ^{3} \times 0.351 cm ^{3}\] So... what now? lol

Well, the 3.26g/cm^3 isn't a formula, but more like a unit. This density means that diamond weights 3.26 grams for every 1 cm^3. So if the diamond is .351 of a cm^3...:) You can do it! *cheers*

Do you get it? The mass of 1cm^3 of diamond is 3.26 grams.
